Bird Lovers Disease

Bird lovers' disease (BP) is a disease that occurs through contact with birds. It is a type of allergic alvelitis (Hamman-Rich syndrome), which occurs in people who come into contact with bird feathers. PD is caused by swelling of the bronchi and lymph nodes as a result of deposition in the lungs of a precipitate mass containing IgG antibodies and allergens found in the blood and/or droppings of chicken birds. This disease can lead to serious complications and even be life-threatening. Below is an article studying this disease and how to treat it.



Bird lovers' disease is a fairly rare disease that occurs in people who are allergic to dust, mites and other allergens, since more than 20% of cases occur when the patient is allergic to house dust. Also, those people who have had contact with sick people or other animals at least once a year in recent years are susceptible to the disease.

The diagnosis is made by performing a general blood test and detecting the presence of tumors, growths and neoplasms in the lungs during an x-ray examination. The approximate result of the biopsy makes it possible to detect foci of edema, infiltrative changes, hemorrhages, and invasion of malignant tumors. But it is impossible to check the presence of IgE in the blood
